Overview

My research interests span physics of wave phenomena and ultrafast spin dynamics in mesoscale magnetic structures, reaching out to the use of spins and spin waves (magnons) in practical applications, e.g. within magnonics and magnetic data storage technologies.

Further details of my research interests can be found at the group's research and my ORCID https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6607-0886 pages.

I am offering to supervise self-motivated, suitably qualified PhD students (either self-funded or applying for funding) within the areas of my research interests.
